Local Activities around Cottage in Los pavitos

This is the perfect place to stay if you wish to enjoy the peace, dramatic beauty and charm of rural Andalucia while also being near the coast and the major capital cities of Andalucia. IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF THE HOUSE is the "Parque Natural de la Sierra de Tejeda y Almijara" (15 minutes' drive) and endless tracks and footpaths with open access to the hills and mountains, right on the doorstep! The impressive Boquete de Zafarraya pass gives access to Granada Province, and is the starting point of an excellent walk with magnificent views along the old railway track that ran from Ventas de Zafarraya to Velez Malaga. Lake La vinuela is fast becoming a focal point for those interested in fishing, water sports, bird watching or simply walking. THE AXARQUÍA REGION, east of Málaga, is an area unspoilt by mass tourism. Dependent on agriculture, mainly olives almonds, avocados and other sub-tropical fruits, it enjoys the best climate in Europe. This is an ideal area in which to explore the white villages of Andalucía , its rugged mountains, varied flora and fauna, and its national monuments. Local ferias throughout the summer offer the chance to experience the true local culture at first hand. VELEZ MALAGA (20 mins.) is a Moorish town complete with castle and steep, narrow streets. It also boasts a new shopping and leisure centre, multi screen cinemas etc. and a water park. Yes, this is a region of contrasts! TORRE DEL MAR (25 mins.) is the nearest beach and very popular with the Spanish, while NERJA, (famous for its caves and fine sandy beaches) is the favourite of many English. ANDALUCIA offers a wide variety of holiday possibilities, from skiing in the sierras to basking on the beaches. Vast areas are still unspoilt and many inland areas have been preserved as Parques Naturales or as Parques Nacionales such as DOÑA ANA. The cities of SEVILLA, CORDOBA and GRANADA are rich in history, as are the numerous Moorish mountain villages.
